let me help!!!! "The aircraft's modular design allows for the wings to be removed and replaced by different design wings" also do not forget that " Also, the wings could be made shorter and a more powerful engine added if necessary. By the way... they are increasing the swept of the wing for the production model so you know this is not such a big deal... WOW, you are brute!!!

Now you are sweating! This is the aircraft that you have badmouthed with your absurd opinions for several month and predicted it would be a failure and now... look at it. It could get a customer soon and prove you to be the clown that I know you are. And do not forget your fiasco with the LCS cost and your crazy predictions about the aircraft carriers, etc.... just call me back when you get one of your "visions" right!

Inaugural Ski Jump of the Lockheed Martin F 35B Lightning II
(Source: Defense-Aerospace.com; published June 23, 2015)
PARIS --- The first ski jump test carried out by an F-35B fighter took place on June 19, four months after it was quietly delayed without any announcement or explanation.

The US Naval Air Systems Command (Navair) posted a video on YouTube dated June 23 and showing what is labeled as the “F-35B First Ski Jump Test” which it dates on June 19.


(Navair video)

As of noon today, Central European Time, Navair had not posted the video on its website, or issued any information about the event.

This test was originally scheduled for late February, Reuters reported Feb. 24, and so was finally carried out four months late. In fact, the first test was carried out a month later than the previously-scheduled end of the ski jump trials.

“Two UK pilots will test the ability of the new warplane to take off from upward-sloping ski-jump ramps used on aircraft carriers like those operated by Britain and Italy. The ramps launch the jets forward and upward, reducing the thrust needed,” Reuters reported.

It cited Sylvia Pierson, a spokeswoman for the Pentagon's F-35 program office, as saying that “two British pilots, one from BAE Systems Plc and the other from the British Royal Navy, would use the first UK F-35B jet to complete the testing through late May.”

No information has been made public about a delay in the ski jump trials. However, a four-month delay that was unexpected days before the trials were due to begin can only point to the last-minute discovery of a problem serious enough to warrant a four-month postponement.

Given the F-35’s long history of problems and technical glitches, it is impossible to single out any possible causes, but we will be following up on this initial report.
